Star Cloud Services On-line order and receipt printing CloudPRNT for WooCommerce Plug-in
Star's new CloudPRNT for WooCommerce plug-in enables Star receipt printers to print automated receipts each time an order is placed on a WooCommerce based website. This can be used to quickly create a remote order/receipt printing solution for restaurants, take-aways, bakeries and similar businesses, with minimal set-up time or cost.
By offering online purchasing options, retail stores and restaurants
are able to grow their business to expand to a larger market. Star's new CloudPRNT plug-in is compatible with the following Star thermal receipt printers, mC-Print2, mCPrint3 and TSP600II, TSP700II, TSP800II with Star’s unique HI X Connect Interface.
With Star’s CloudPRNT technology businesses can integrate a flexible ordering system to seamlessly integrate online purchasing into their offering, while eliminating the need for an extra tablet to send an online order to the printer. Instead, the ordering service will be able to communicate directly with the printer to create print jobs as well as receive the status of the printer.
This plug-in can only be used alongside the WooCommerce WordPress plug-in. For more information on the WooCommerce plug-in please visit www.woocommerce.com
